An Introduction to Global Warming

Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the Earth's surface air and oceans. The global average temperature near the Earth's surface has increased from 0.74 ± 0.18 °C in the hundred years ending in 2005. Gases in the Earth's worked to trap solar heat in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide. This is good things to keeps our planet suitable for life. Burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests too much, are raising the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and temperatures.

The warming is a big problem in our Earth's, because it causes many bad changes and many people are worried about it. One of the big changes is that the number of hurricanes has been increased in the last few years. Also melting of the ice in Greenland has doubled over the past decade. Many plants and animals may be harmed because of Global warming.

Global Warming - An Inconvenient Truth

The movie begins with a serious mood from Al Gore. He is the former United States Vice President. He makes this interesting film called “An Inconvenient Truth”. He wants to explain to the people about the Global warming and the effect of this issue. He shows the hurricanes disasters and what is happening to glaciers around the world and other effects of the Global warming. He used many pictures and graphs to explain the information’s.

He shows what is happening to glaciers around the world, it’s seen that many glaciers have melted. This is a big problem for many people around the world, because 40% of the people in the Earth get their drinking water from melting water from glaciers. Also from melted ice it could raise global sea levels by approximately 20 feet and this could flood coastal areas. We can see that the two graphs of temperature in Northern Hemisphere and CO2 concentrations in the past 1000 years that they close fit together, if the Hemisphere rise the CO2 also rise. The rises in temperature in oceans cause hurricanes because of the different of current, cold and hot. Many buildings have fallen down on permafrost because of melting and also many roads crack and collapse. This has caused many accidents. Gore mentioned that mosquito tone to move to higher elevation and this has caused many diseases as malaria. As well many sea animals moved to the north because of these changes in the sea temperatures. He describes what will happen if the Greenland melts. It will raise the sea level and the Europe will be very cold. Also in Antarctica’s ice sheet many collapse as result of global warming. There are 3 factors he said contribute to the collision between our civilization and the earth, the population, technology and the way we use the Earth. Growing population is mean that a lot of oil burning and many consumption of natural resources.

We can help our economy grow and help the environment at the same time by use the produce can be fit with environment. He mention the great thing that Americans have done that they though that was difficult, they joined together to reduce the CO2 by wind power, sun power and planting more vegetation to consume existing CO2.

Opinion

The movie was interesting in that it describes the most serious problem effecting in our world nowadays which is the Global warming. The movie shows the graphs of how the world was before and now and what is the reason are for these changes. As well it gives some solutions to help the economy grow without harming the environment. From watching this film I found most compelling that the talking in the film was more than the videos. I didn’t agree with AL Gore in the point that he mentioned that just two countries had done anything to solve this problem. I see more that two countries have to try to move to solve this issue.

The effect of the movie was very good and also Al Gore’s comments were good because he mentioned about the past and how the Earth is compared with what could happen in the future. The music in the movie was effective because it help to transport the idea and the feeling to the person watching this movie. Also the images was nice because it’s helped to illustrate the idea and the information. Finally, I rate this movie to be 7 of 10.
